This article covers it well, including the fact that specific battery chemistries are trade secrets.

For battery tech nerds like me, the battery is a more efficient lithium-iron battery, called Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate or lmfp. It has a theoretical energy density of 525Wh/L, compared to normal lithium-iron theoretical density of 325Wh/L

I’m old school, I stick to calling them boss, capitalist, and bourgeoisie

I think it’s kinda funny that even their more subtle attacks are blatantly obvious

A title is just something a company calls a particular job. A role is what that job actually is. So a lot of jobs might be called “QA engineer”, but not fitting the intended role

I’m thinking of it not as a title, but a role. Often times the 2 are not related

That’s what QA engineering is for. They are integrated into the dev team and they pull double duty with QA and code review.

I think QA engineering needs to become more widespread. The “extra pair of eyes” can’t compare to a department of people dedicated to code review and testing.

I don’t consider myself a tankie, because I’m an anarcho-syndicalist.

I’ve been called a tankie for suggesting that workers should organize tenant unions to kill the apartment bidding wars in NYC. I’ve been called a tankie for pointing out that their image of a tankie needs to almost have power to be any kind of threat worth warning against, and there are no tankies anywhere near power with the global rise of fascism. I’ve been called a tankie for asking someone to clarify what they meant by tankie. I’ve been told that scientific socialism both is and is not tankie behavior. The term is utterly meaningless. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s part of a 3rd red scare in an effort to sow division amongst the anticapitalist left.

Capitalism operated almost exclusively as monarchies for the first 200 years. Hundreds of capitalist countries have failed, but why are only the failed communist states counted against the ideology? Vietnam, Cuba, and China certainly haven’t failed. Now I don’t consider those to be socialist or communist projects, but they’re undeniably different from the capitalist status quo. What specifically do you mean when you say a country fails in the first place?

And what’s sad are the number of people that act like credit scores are a force of nature we just have to accept

Wow, that’s some damn good insurance if it’s only $60

I hope it inspires them to document their oral traditions in some way on the Internet. Most likely it would be a blog, but video documentation would be invaluable preservation

First, was the layoff WARN compliant? The tldr is if 500 or 33% (whichever is less) people were laid off then you were required to receive either a payout of at least 60 day’s wages or a 60 day notice. Second, assuming you weren’t completely fucked by your company with that barebones requirement, what is the separation package? That is a major factor in how I would proceed.

If the package is substantial enough to live on for a while, try to slim up your budget a bit overall and treat yourself a little in the moment before looking for work. Keep a consistent schedule, and pick up some interests and active hobbies. Set aside at least 2 hours per day for submitting applications, and at least another hour per day on other tasks related to job searching.

Don’t let this time be miserable though. Make sure to find ways to relax, get outside, volunteer to a cause, get involved with community organizing, work on a personal project, whatever you feel is worth your extra time. There are a lot of ways to enjoy yourself without a lot of money, like going to your community library.

So the bear came for the food, but stayed for active community participation

You’re actually putting stock into polls for the most unpredictable election the country as seen?

Yes.

By mutual respect I mean not assuming ill will when a new person enters a discussion. I’ve voted in every single presidential, state, local, municipal, and union election since I turned 18 in 2014.

I do know that. You seem like you’re pretty in tune as well, so you should be aware that being permissive and/or welcoming of 3rd party presidential candidates generally favor democrats at the state and local level.
